49. Guo Pinyuan's request

After the editor-in-chief finished speaking, he no longer glanced at Ye Chuan, and took the lead in pushing the door out, and no one in the other editors dared to stand up at this time.

Although the serialization meeting is a voting system in which the minority obeys the majority, in fact, the editor-in-chief has the right to veto the power of life and death, and even if all the works supported by the editor, the editor-in-chief still has the right to forcibly publish or end the work. However, this is too arbitrary, and it is easy to cause confrontation in the editorial department, so in the history of Fantasy, there are few such cases, but at the same time as the new serialization is released, the same number of works are completed in the magazine, and almost all of them are decided by the editor-in-chief.

The editor-in-chief has such great power, especially the current chief programmer Qihua is famous for his iron fist, and no one wants to wade into the troubled waters for a little-known newcomer at this juncture.

As everyone left the conference room, the leaders of several editorial teams began to gather the team members to assign tasks related to the new serial, and the editor-in-chief returned to his office alone.

When Guo Pinyuan came over, he glanced at Ye Chuan, who came out dejectedly, only to see that the other party shook his head.

Guo Pinyuan was taken aback: "Is it not before?" ”

"No, the serialization passed, but ......" Ye Chuan said what happened at the serialization meeting just now.

"How so!" Guo Pinyuan never thought that what he had planned for so long would fall short here.

"I'm sorry, Lao Guo." Ye Chuan also sighed, speaking of which, this plan was still planned by Ye Chuan, and now it is completely out of expectation, and he doesn't know what to say. "It shouldn't have been like this, but today I don't know why the editor-in-chief suddenly appointed Tong Cheng to take over, and he didn't even give ...... at all."

"By the way, I've heard something about that." At this time, Liao Hui, who was also in Ye Chuan's group, suddenly said.

"What's the matter?"

"It's the matter of Tong Cheng's deputy editor-in-chief asking the editor-in-chief for someone, remember, the deputy editor-in-chief is responsible for Mr. Yuan Yu's popular work "Divine Dog Adong" ended in March."

"It's just in time for the tide of slashing, but "Adong" can be regarded as the natural end of life." Wu Xin said.

"I heard that Mr. Yuan Yu didn't go well with the new serialization after taking a break for a while, and even thinking about whether to leave Fantasy to go to other magazines, Tong Cheng, the deputy editor-in-chief, probably took a fancy to the champion work of this SD script competition, so he asked the editor-in-chief for someone."

"Indeed, Mr. Hara Yu is very good at describing warm plots, her painting style is soft, attracting a large number of female fans, and Liang Yu may really be able to create popular works."

Drawing a pillar-shaped super popular comic, it takes the right time, place, people and luck, so the editor will never say that he wants to make a certain work into the magazine's No.1, but as a collaborator who leads the author, every editor has the obligation to work with the comic author to manage the comic, so that it can become an enduring popular work, not a failure that is easily forgotten.

Considering the compatibility of the original work and the painter, the group of people corresponding to the work, the consideration of the editor-in-chief and the deputy editor-in-chief is understandable, and even Ye Chuan has to admit that if he didn't know in advance that there was also a Chen Nan, he would definitely think that such a match is the best.

But Guo Pinyuan couldn't do it, he couldn't accept such a result.

"No, I'm going to find the editor-in-chief to make it clear!" Guo Pinyuan clenched his fists and said.

"Lao Guo, don't be impulsive!" Ye Chuan shouted to him: "And he won't listen to anything you say to the editor-in-chief now." ”

Indeed, although this editor-in-chief is more capable than the previous laissez-faire editor-in-chief, his relationship with other editors in the editorial department and even the author is also the most tense, and once he decides, it is impossible to change it.

"But even so, I have to ask him to let Liang Yu and Chen Nan serialize together!" Guo Pinyuan's voice even alarmed the members of the other groups in the editorial department, and they all looked sideways to this side.

"Old Guo, you ......" Ye Chuan was also shocked, in his opinion, although this thing could not be done, it was not a matter of principle, but when he saw Guo Pinyuan's current appearance, he found that it was useless to say anything.

This guy is serious!

"I know that the world is very realistic, although everyone is talking about dreams, but only a small number of people can really achieve it." Guo Pinyuan said: "If there is no talent, I won't say anything, it's that the sky doesn't give me food, but I obviously have a shining talent and enough hard work, but because of my qualifications, I can't bear to be ruined by the dream of an adult." ”

Ye Chuan wanted to say, is this kind of thing still rare, but after looking at Guo Pinyuan, who had a solemn expression, he found that he couldn't say it.

Guo Pinyuan didn't say anything more, turned around and walked to the editor-in-chief's office, knocking on the door.

"What's the matter?" The commotion outside has long attracted Cheng Zhihua's attention, after all, the windows of the office here are transparent, and you can directly see the situation outside when you sit inside, "If you also want to convince me to let the newcomer draw the serial, then you don't have to talk about it." ”

At the beginning, he put on an attitude of rejection.

"Editor-in-Chief Cheng, please listen to me, these two young people are really working hard, I don't think they should be forcibly separated!"

"I have to go to the headquarters to submit a paperwork later, can I ask you to go out first?"

At this time, the deputy editor-in-chief and other editors also crowded to the door and persuaded one after another: "Lao Guo, we all know that you are enthusiastic about this matter, but the editor-in-chief has already decided, forget it." ”

But Guo Pinyuan did not flinch, he stubbornly walked in front of Cheng Qihua and handed him a file bag: "Before making a decision, please be sure to take a look at this." ”

Cheng Qihua glanced at the file bag handed over, and then looked at Guo Pinyuan's serious expression, silently took the file bag and opened the wire seal.

The surrounding editors were also curiously looking at the file bag, and only Ye Chuan suddenly realized that there was no doubt that it was the original work written by Liang Yu and Chen Nan to participate in this Red Dragon Award.

Originally, according to Ye Chuan and Guo Pinyuan's plan, this original work was directly submitted to the Red Dragon Award for review, and the identity of Chen Nan and Liang Yu's cooperation will be announced after the results come out.

Cheng Qihua looked at the original manuscript in his hand, the entire office and even the editorial office were quiet, and the silence was even very clear to hear the sound of the pages turning.

At first, Chen Qihua's face was expressionless, but in the middle of the paragraph, his expression gradually changed, until he saw the end, he stopped pondering for a long time.

"This is the original work that the two middle school students collaborated on?"

"Yes." Guo Pinyuan replied.

"It's done very well," Chen Qihua praised, making Guo Pinyuan and the others happy, but soon, he cut off this hope: "But just like that, I still don't plan to retract my original opinion." Serialization is different from short stories, which is quite a burden for middle school students who are mainly interested, this is not only physical, but also mental, do you dare to pack a ticket to say that they can properly cope with the influence of school, parents and society, and create excellent works as always, do you dare to guarantee that they can deliver on time after serialization, and are not distracted by mundane things? ”

Such words make people speechless, after all, I am afraid that even the author himself cannot pat his chest to guarantee these things, let alone the editor.

But Guo Pinyuan said: "I believe they can do it." ”

"It's not something you can decide if you believe in it......"

Without waiting for the editor-in-chief to finish speaking, Guo Pinyuan said: "And didn't Gu Chengfeng do it?" ”

"He's different, he's special." Cheng Qihua said.

"I admit that Gu Chengfeng is a genius, but how do you know that Liang Yu and Gu Chengfeng are not good even if you don't even try?"

"If it doesn't work, who's responsible?" The editor-in-chief asked rhetorically.

"I'll be responsible, and if they fail, I'll take the blame and resign!" Guo Pinyuan said.

The surrounding editors all let out a miserable scream, and their voices were overshadowed by Cheng Qihua, who stood up with a slap on the table: "Guo Pinyuan, are you a newcomer who came to work on the first day today, do you know what is severity?" ”

"I understand very well that editors should not substitute too much emotion, and should give guidance to each author with a neutral attitude, but just like Editor-in-Chief Cheng, you are optimistic about Gu Chengfeng, I am also optimistic about the combination of Chen Nan and Liang Yu, and think that they are authors who can become the pillars of the magazine in the future, if they can't meet my expectations, it can only prove that my vision as an editor is insufficient, for this, I am willing to be responsible!"

"Okay, I see." The editor-in-chief said.

"What do you mean ......"

"Since you compare the two of them with Gu Chengfeng, then don't forget that Gu Chengfeng won the championship in the Golden Apple Cup before starting serialization." The editor-in-chief poked his finger at the original manuscript on the table and said, "If this manuscript wins the first place in the next Red Dragon Awards, then I will retract my previous decision and let the two of them start a new series as a combination." But if you can't do it, or even if you win the prize, even if it's in second place, don't mention it again! ”
